Lesson 2 review: Cell Function and Organelles

This structure is found in both plant and animal cells and is a flexible covering and protective boundary that protects the cell from the environment by regulating what can enter and leave the cell.

• The cell membrane

• The cell wall

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

NGSS.MS-LS1-1

This structure can be found in plant, fungi, bacteria and some protist cells. This structure provides structural support and an extra layer of protection from the outside environment.

• The cell membrane

• The cell wall

• The mitochondria

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

NGSS.MS-LS1-1

This organelle makes proteins for the cells and can be found floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the Rough ER.

• Ribosomes

• Vacuole

• The mitochondria

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This organelle is used for storing water, waste, and nutrients.

• Nucleus

• Vacuole

• The Golgi apparatus

• The mitochondria

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This organelle is like the "post office" it collects materials like proteins and stores them in small structures called vesicles until they are ready to be transported out of the cell.

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Vacuole

• The Golgi apparatus or golgi bodies

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This organelle is found in both plant and animal cells and is called the "powerhouse" of the cell because it turns food into energy. In humans/animals, this is where cellular respiration occurs.

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Vacuole

• The mitochondria

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

NGSS.MS-LS1-7

This organelle is found in plant cells and captures light energy and is where photosynthesis takes place.

• Chloroplasts

• Vacuole

• Nuclues

• The mitochondria

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-6

NGSS.MS-LS2-3

This organelle is found in most eukaryotic cells, is the "boss" or "brain" of the cell because it controls all of the cell's activities.

• Chloroplasts

• Vacuole

• Nucleus

• The mitochondria

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Which best describes the cells on p.44

• All cells have the same shapes and sizes

• The structure of a cell relates to its job/function

• All living things have the same cells.

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

The two structures/organelle that are found inside a plant cell and NOT in animals are the

• cell wall and chloroplast

• cell membrane and chloroplast

• Mitochondria and chloroplast
